In remarks at the White House, the Democratic president said he would put the blame on the Republicans for the supposed "crisis" at the US-Mexico border.

One year after the disaster of February 2023, nothing concrete has been done to ensure the safety of those living in disaster-prone areas. The obstacles are not natural but social.

Bukele easily won re-election based upon crime reduction, but social and economic conditions are pushing Salvadoran workers into struggle against his government.

There is a nervous closing of the parliamentary ranks in the face of intensifying discontent among workers and youth over the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the worsening cost-of-living crisis.
